Watertown, WI

Perry Way Foods is meat processing facility located in Watertown, WI.  Employing many local people in the community Perry Way Foods has been a staple in Watertown and its surrounding communities.  A Chappa Construction has been privileged enough to work with Perry Way Food in several recent projects.

It was Mother’s Day weekend of 2015 when a fire destroyed the Watertown facility completely, leaving over 100 employees without jobs.  The company generously ensured the employees would be compensated until they were put back to work.  This promise pushed the urgency to get a new facility up and running. 

For the next year Perry way Foods and A Chappa put together a team of contractors in order to start construction of the new Perry Way facility.  In order to be as efficient as possible, coordinate all the different tasks, tackle change orders and overcome obstacles, everyone had to be on the same page.  Working together and constant communication got this project done and Johnsonville employees back to work.
